Posted March 10, 2015 To be honest, I'm not sure either. I think I got it in '95... and if I remember the bigfoot came out in '96. I could be wrong though. 3930k | RIVBE | 32GB Dominator Plat. | Titan XP | Intel 750 1.6TB | Mellanox 10Gb NIC | AX1200i Custom TJ07 | 2xD5 pumps | EK Supremacy EVO | EK Titan XP | EK RIVBE Block | Cu Tubing | 25x120mm Rad Samsung U28D590D 4K | Leopold Otaku w/Browns | Corsair M65 | Corsair SP2500 | Sennheiser HD595 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if you did and your computer ran a lot faster, its a bigfoot. "We also blind small animals with cosmetics. We do not sell cosmetics. We just blind animals."

Posted March 10, 2015 Hah whipersnapers! First desktops I used were a Commodore PET[1] and a Cromemco Z2D[2](used as an industrial controller) and it had to be programmed in assembler, first mainframe I used was a DEC20[3]. Take that for old school. First desktop I had at home was a, positively modern in comparison, 386 with a seperate mouse card and 4Meg of RAM. But it did have a hard drive, all 40meg of it [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_PET [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cromemco_Z-2 [3] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DECSYSTEM-20 Two motoes to live by "Sometimes there are no shortcuts" "This too shall pass" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 10, 2015 I'll be just 21 this year but I do know a few things from this! I had first PC in 2001 or 2003 don't really remember. So yeah it's 21-12 = 9 years old (too young to remmebr building any computer ) Most likely 2003 because I remember playing GTA Vice City 1. I don't remember that slow internet as we haven't had any at that time 2. I remmeber jumpers on HDDs, I've also used them a couple of years ago and then I was surprised when I bought a new HDD and could not find jumpers there :blink: 3. Win98 I bought a game that was running fine on 98, but then we installed XP and I discovered that the game does not support winXP 4. We also had 17'' CRT, later we bought 19'' LCD, it was like 300€... Crazy stuff 5. Lowest amount of RAM I had was I think 64 or 128, when I got 512MB RAM and ATi HD 3000 series (years after that) I felt like a Boss I could run War Rock at reasonable FPS Spoiler CPU: Intel i5-4690K | Mobo: MSI Z97 Gaming 3 | RAM: Kingston Savage 4x4GB | GPU: Asus Strix GTX970 | PSU: Seasonic M12II-620 Evo | Storage: MX100 128GB + WD Blue 1TB | Cooling: CM Hyper 212 evo | Case: NZXT H440 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 10, 2015 When I built my first computer, youtube didn't exist yet and I did have to search on dozens of e-tailers website manually for the best prices since shopbot and others didn't exist/didn't know if they existed yet, also pray it wasn't some scam site since ratings/user comments were rare in those days... I didn't have 56k modem, I had a bit better (much), I think it was something like 3Mbps. Thankfully I had someone teach me most of how to build a computer, so it went relatively fine on that side... other than me cutting myself a few dozen time on the inside of the case.. because Rounded corners? what's that, have a razor sharp edge instead. I hated those damn jumpers on the HDD, especially on the rare occasion I had a drive that didn't have any indication of where the jumper went... Heck, in fact, I still have the first computer I truly built from scratch. It's currently sitting under my desk, all the components still inside and "should" still be in working condition... with my feet on top of the case. :lol: CPU: AMD Ryzen 3700x / GPU: Asus Radeon RX 6750XT OC 12GB / RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8GB DDR4-3200 MOBO: MSI B450m Gaming Plus / NVME: Corsair MP510 240GB / Case: TT Core v21 / PSU: Seasonic 750W / OS: Win 10 Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
